Abstract:In this report the realized energy savings in the Netherlands for the period 1995-2005 are presented for the sectors households, industry, agriculture, services, transport, refineries and electricity, and for the national level.
The figures about energy savings are based on the ‘Protocol Monitoring Energy Savings’, a common methodology and database to calculate the amount of energy savings, that has been set up earlier by four Dutch institutes CPB, ECN, Novem and RIVM. A description of the methodology used can be found in (Gijsen et al., 2006). Results are presented for savings on final energy use, conversion in end-use sectors (co-generation) and conversion in the energy sector. National savings are 0.9% per year on average, with a decreasing tendency in recent years.
